Local media to lampoon political players (for a good cause)

No one is safe from the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual Gridiron skewering. The show, set for Saturday, pokes fun at the year’s headline-makers in politics and local news. The evening of adult-only entertainment benefits the local scholarships.

You know you’re from San Antonio if you get this about the annual Gridiron show, set for this Saturday: It’s a cross between “Saturday Night Live” (smart, funny and current) and Cornyation (local, bawdy and raunchy).

With a script ripped from the headlines, the popular variety-style show is written and produced by San Antonio media members to raise much-needed scholarship dollars.

The performance is produced by the San Antonio chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) with help from the San Antonio College SPJ student chapter. Money goes to provide college support for local journalism students.
